Video game publisher Five Star Games, who has served as the Australian distributor of SEGA games for some time now, has announced they are hosting a speedrunning competition in co-ordination with AusSpeedruns, titled the Sonic State of Origins Plus Clash, a play off the tri-annual competition between Queensland and New South Wales. This event is due to mark the 32nd birthday of the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise, as well as celebrating the release of Sonic Origins Plus, a collection of classic Sonic the Hedgehog titles.

The Sonic State of Origins Plus Clash competition will take place on 23 June 2023 at Fortress Sydney. It features top Sonic the Hedgehog speedrunners from Australia, who will represent their respective states and compete in a live event. The competition is also aimed at supporting a charitable cause, as all proceeds from the event will be donated to Cure Cancer, an Australian charity. Cure Cancer’s gaming initiative, Game On Cancer, focuses on rallying the gaming community to support early-stage cancer researchers in various areas of cancer research.

Ethan Levy, AusSpeedruns Coordinator, expressed enthusiasm for the competition:

AUSSPEEDRUNS IS PROUD TO PARTNER WITH FIVE STAR GAMES TO PUT ON THIS EXCITING NEW SONIC STATE OF ORIGINS PLUS EVENT FOR ALL AUSTRALIANS. WE’VE GOT THE FASTEST AND MOST INCREDIBLE SONIC THE HEDGEHOG SPEEDRUNNERS IN OUR COMMUNITY, AND THEY’LL BE GOING HEAD-TO-HEAD ON THE 23RD OF JUNE IN THE ARENA; AT THE SAME TIME RAISING MONEY FOR GAME ON CANCER, A WONDERFUL CAUSE!
